From its formation in Pittsburgh to its confluence with the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois, the Ohio River passes through a landscape that is, for photographer Andrew Borowiec, "both exotic and authentically American". Borowiec's 80 duotone images explore the cultural landscape of this region, presenting clapboard houses and white picket fences, pickup trucks and rusting sedans, back yards with satellite dishes or with barbecue grills made from 55 gallon oil drums. The pictures concentrate on the common scenes of everyday life and work, especially in the small, mostly blue-collar towns along the Ohio. The book illustrates the condition of a region that once was essential to the economic vitality of the United States. Many factories, once a source of prosperity, lie idle. Houses and banks stand boarded up and rusting machinery litters the river's edge. But Borowiec's camera finds a resilient strength, even among deteriorating homes - carefully mowed lawns or freshly painted fences are signs that residents still strive for pride and the American Dream, despite their less-than-ideal circumstances.

You haven’t seen the Buckeye State as presented in Thomas R. Schiff’s photographs in Panoramic Ohio. As a matter of fact, it’s physically impossible. Tom’s unique panoramic shooting style offers as much as a 360-degree angle of view — a snapshot of everything around the photographer, from every angle, all at the same time. You literally have never seen it before.

Published by the Cincinnati Art Museum in cooperation with Ohio’s Bicentennial celebration, Panoramic Ohio presents 75 images of life from every corner of the state. Many are as familiar as everyday life. Some are glimpses into out-of-the-way parks, streets and events. But whether you’re a lifelong Ohioan or a first-time visitor, prepare to be surprised.
